During this Jazoon keynote Ted Neward talks about why the next five years in IT will be about languages. The programming language virtualization, tools, linguistic focus and expressiveness are different forces that are coming of age. Not to mention the impact of the over-used and over-hyped Domain-Specific languages. How will these languages tackle the evolving application security demands or rich user interfaces, Ted Neward approaches these questions in his own unique style.
